Conservative radio host agrees with caller that vaping bleach might cure COVID-19: 'You're not crazy

Published 14 mins ago on April 24, 2020
By Travis Gettys

A talk radio caller suggested vaping bleach as a possible treatment for coronavirus, and conservative host Jeff Kuhner assured him the recommendation wasn’t crazy.

The caller, who identified himself as Zack from Stoughton, called into Boston’s WRKO-AM on Friday morning to talk about President Donald Trump’s dangerous suggestion to use disinfectants or powerful light internally to treat COVID-19.

“I’ve been thinking about this thing,” Zack began. “I was a smoker for years, I smoked about three packs a day, and I never liked this new vape thing coming out with the nicotine in it, but I also have a bunch of friends with big cleaning companies.”

After hearing an ad on Kuhner’s program offering a disinfecting service during the pandemic, Zack said he started connecting the dots and wondered whether vape pens could deliver bleach and other disinfecting chemicals into infected lungs.

Anybody who is stupid enough to think vaping bleach would be a good idea is already floundering in the shallow end of the gene pool.

Stay off the phone. Those dots you are connecting are actually microdots. Stay away from the brown acid, Zack.

Just say No.
